The object of this book is to give the English student a knowledge of pure modern Greek, as it is now written and spoken by educated people, and also to make him acquainted with the more or less corrupt forms of the language which have prevailed at different times and in different parts of Greece, and which still linger in secluded localities where the peasantry have not been in a position to take advantage of the gratuitous education now provided by the State. The subject of the purification of the Greek language from the barbarisms which at one time disfigured it, is well explained in a letter of the celebrated scholar Philippos Johannou which forms the opening chapter.
Modern Greek, like many other European languages, has only in comparatively recent times assumed the form of a single fixed and definite language understood by the whole nation, and in this form it differs so little from ancient Greek that were a foreigner to address a Greek in the language of Lucian, he would be readily understood; in fact many of my pupils, reading with me a passage from a good modern author, have asked me whether it was ancient or modern Greek, and were not a little astonished when they were told that they might regard it as either. It is not too much to say that any one who has a competent knowledge of ancient Greek can learn to speak the modern language in a month, though of course fluency can only be acquired by constant practice.
